Report from A.P State Convention of PDSO and NYS successfully held The PDSO and NYS held a State Convention in Guntur on March 19 th 2018. “Ever growing Unemployment: Imperialist exploitation and culture – Tasks of students and Youth”-was the theme of discussion. The Convention was addressed by Com. L. Laxmi Reddy, President, NYS; Dr. J. Madhu Babu, Asst Professor, ANU; Com. M.V.Krishnaiah, APTF; Com. Pandu Ranga Vara Prasad, GS, APTF, Com. Laxmi, GS, Stree Vimukti Sanghatana; Com. S.K.Baji Saida, GS, PDSO and Com. DK. Basha, GS,NYS. The speakers said: The policies of Indian ruling classes have landed the Country in a serious economic crisis. In the name of development, the rulers are providing all the opportunities for the imperialists to loot the cheap labour power and natural resources abundantly available in the Country. Small industries are closing down. The agrarian crisis is forcing the peasants to commit suicides. That 4 lakh peasants had committed suicides in the last three decades only show the magnitude of this crisis and the pathetic state of the peasants. The unemployment problem had grown to dangerous proportions and solving this problem is not on the agenda of rulers. The contract and out sourcing methods increasingly adopted by them are not only producing the wage slaves but also further aggravating the unemployment problem. There is no relation between what one studies and job one is compelled to take up. Many highly educated youth are compelled to do small and petty jobs. The education sector is tuned to the needs of dominant classes. Faced with this situation, the students and youth 24 have a long battle to wage for the right to education and employment. The decadent imperialist culture is seeking to influence and dictate the food habits, dress code and mind sets of the people. The cultural pollution is growing along with the exploitation. The rulers wish that the youth must not bother about the problems around them. So, they are doing everything to keep the youth diverted, enmeshed in one or other illusion and under the influence of drugs. The rulers as well as the media controlled by them are projecting the wealth amassed by the rich through loot as hard earned wealth and are preaching the youth to emulate them as their models. They are spreading a criminal and money culture among the youth. So, there is every need for students and youth to fight against the decadent culture and imbibe the democratic culture and values. They must take inspiration from the revolutionaries like Bhagat Singh and Alluri Seeta Rama Raju and carry the struggle forward against feudalism and imperialism and for a new society. The Convention adopted resolutions condemning the Missile attack on Syria by US and its allies; exposing the attempts of rulers in AP to divert the people from real issues in the name of special status for AP; demanding the improvement in drinking water and drainage systems in the state and the cancellation of Coastal Waste Management Factory Unit-ll in Nellore district. The Convention called upon the students and youth to observe the 87 th Death Anniversary Day of Bhagat Singh, Raj Guru and Sukh Dev on March 23 rd as an ANTI – IMPERIALIST DAY. At the end, the students and youth took out a rally. The rally was impressive with the artistes dancing to the drum beats in front of it all along the way. ™ Report from Bihar: A Mass Rally and Meeting in Sasaram An impressive procession of about 5000 men and women from different corners of Rohtas district in Bihar was taken out on 5th Feb’ 2018 at Sasaram under the banner of CPI (ML) Rohtas- Kaimur District Committee.
